First Things First...This tutorial deals with Java Applets. In order to see the example applet or to run this tutorial correctly, you must have a 32-bit platform computer system. Basically, you will require Windows 95 or a high level Macintosh Operating System (OS). Yes, Mac is a 32-bit OS, but earlier versions of the Mac OS will not run Java applets. You will also require a browser that has Java capabilities. This will not work on Windows 3.x--even with the 32-bit extension software.

They must work in tandem with others like them. The objects make up the whole. Object-oriented programming. That's the quick explanation.
